Thanks for that. I can't dispute what you're saying off the top of my head without doing some further research of my own on the subjects in question.

Let's hope the same happens to the Abrahamic religions. They've had 2,300 years (since the advent of the Torah) to get it right, and have utterly failed. It's well past time for them die in ignominy.

> ...the only relic of the civilization was an ancient story of the golden fleece.

I think you're mistaking the Minoans who lived on the island of Crete in the Mediterranean Sea, with the Colchians who lived in what is now Georgia on the coast of the Black Sea. The golden fleece is a mythical portrayal of what is in fact a Baltic gold panning method (wash sediment over a fleece, and the heavy gold particles get stuck in the wool) still in use today.

Anyway, food for thought. I'll look into the rest of that and if it's still timely and relevant, perhaps offer my feedback.
